And Saul° arose°, IIleft° the cave°, and went° on [his] way°. [1] a1S 23:28, 29 b1S 23:19

David in a cave at En-gedi, having cut off Saul's skirt, spareth his life.1 ¶ And it came to pass,² when² Saulº was returnedºª from followingº² the Philistines,º that it was toldºª him, saying,ºª Behold,² Davidº [is] in the wildernessº of Engedi.º 2 Then Saulº tookºª threeº thousandº chosenºª menº out of all²² Israel,º and went¹ª² to seekºª² Davidº and his men¹² uponº² the rocksº of the wild goats.º 3 And he cameºª to² the sheepcotesºº by² the way,º where² [was] a cave;º and Saulº went inºª to coverºª² his feet:º and Davidº and his men¹² remainedºª in the sidesº of the cave.º 4 And the men¹² of Davidº saidºª unto² him, Behold² the dayº of which² the LORDº saidºª unto² thee, Behold,² I² will deliverºª² thine enemyºª into thine hand,º that thou mayest doºª to him as² it shall seem goodºª² unto thee.¹ Then Davidº arose,ºª and cut offºª² the skirtº of Saul'sº robeº privily.º 5 And it came to pass² afterward,º² that David'sº heartº smoteºª him, because²² he had cut offºª² Saul'sº skirt.º 6 And he saidºª unto his men,¹² The LORDº² forbidº that² I should doºª² this² thingº unto my master,º the LORD'Sº anointed,º to stretch forthºª mine handº against him, seeing² he² [is] the anointedº of the LORD.º 7 So Davidº stayedºª² his servants¹² with these words,º and sufferedºª them not² to riseºª against² Saul.º But Saulº rose upºª out of the cave,º² and went¹ª² on [his] way.º [1] 1S 23:19, 28, 29; Pv 25:5; 29:12; Ezk 22:9; Ho 7:3.

Saul, acknowledging his fault, taketh an oath of David, and departeth.16 ¶ And it came to pass,² when Davidº had made an endºª of speakingºª² these² wordsº unto² Saul,º that Saulº said,ºª [Is] this² thy voice,º my sonº David?º And Saulº lifted upºª his voice,º and wept.ºª 17 And he saidºª to² David,º Thou² [art] more righteousº than² I: for² thou² hast rewardedºª me good,º whereas I² have rewardedºª thee evil.º 18 And thou² hast shewedºª this dayº² how that² thou hast dealtºª wellº with² me:² forasmuch as when² the LORDº had deliveredºª me into thine hand,º thou killedstºª me not.² 19 For if² a manº findºª² his enemy,ºª will he let him goºª wellº away?º wherefore the LORDº rewardºª thee goodº for² that² thou hast doneºª unto me this² day.º 20 And now,² behold,² I know wellºª that² thou shalt surely¹ª be king,ºª and that the kingdomº of Israelº shall be establishedºª in thine hand.º 21 Swearºª now² therefore unto me by the LORD,º that² thou wilt not¹ cut offºª² my seedº afterº me, and that² thou wilt not destroyºª² my nameº out of my father's¹ house.º²² 22 And Davidº swareºª unto Saul.º And Saulº went¹ª²² home;º but Davidº and his men¹² gat them upºª unto² the hold.º [16] Gn 33:4; 1S 26:17; Jb 6:25; Pv 15:1; 25:11; Lk 21:15; Ac 6:10.
